After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Wang Ya's father wanted to act tough and pushed our grandma, but my father didn't tolerate him and just pushed him to the ground. I will eat more in the future and grow up tall and strong to protect my sister." As everyone was talking, they heard shouts for dinner from the main room.

As the sky darkened, the oil lamp that was usually reluctant to be used was lit.

In order to save lamp oil, Mrs. Li urged everyone to eat quickly, and everyone in the family started eating in silence.

Ye Qing looked at his family members drinking the porridge that was so thick that you could see your reflection in it. Then he looked at the chicken leg in his own bowl and his eyes became blurry.

Ye Qing quickly lowered his head. No one had ever been so nice to him.

At night, Zhou was afraid that Ye Qing might have a fever, so she didn't let her sleep with her sisters. Instead, she and her husband slept with her.

Zhou, who was tired after working in the fields all day, couldn't hold on and fell asleep after touching Ye Qing's forehead. However, Ye Qing was thinking about this family in his mind.

The head of the Ye family is Grandpa Ye An. He doesn't talk much and just likes to hold his pipe and take a puff from time to time. He married Li and had three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Ye Wenning, married Zhou Qiaoer, whose family lived in the mountains and made a living by hunting.

When Zhou's father was young, he saved Ye's father who was bitten by a snake in the mountains, and thus they became in-laws.

He has three sons and one daughter, namely Ye Chenchuan, 16 years old, Ye Chenming, 14 years old, Ye Chenjing, 10 years old and Ye Qing, 6 years old.

The second son, Ye Wenfeng, does some carpentry work in his spare time and marries Shen Hehua.

There are two sons and one daughter. The 13-year-old eldest son Ye Chencong has been helping out since he was young and can now do some simple things. There are also 11-year-old Ye Xi and 10-year-old Ye Chenze.

The third son, Ye Wenhan, would work as a peddler during the slack season, doing small business from door to door to supplement the family income. He married Wei Guifang and had two sons and one daughter.

They are 12-year-old Ye Chenyi, 9-year-old Ye Xiang and 8-year-old Ye Chenyu.

Everyone else in the family saw it when they woke up, except my aunt's family.

My younger sister was born in autumn and named Ye Qiu. She married into Sunjiazhuang and had two sons with Sun Dazhui, named Sun Hao and Sun Hang. They were 11 and 9 years old, and they were very naughty.

Ye Qing was thinking about all this, his consciousness becoming blurry with his father's snoring in his ears.

When Ye Qing woke up, the sun had already risen and the rest of the family had gone to the fields to weed. Perhaps because of his sleep, his head didn't hurt as much anymore.

She sat up from the bed. Her cousin Ye Xi came over after hearing the noise. "Qingya, are you feeling better? The meal I left for you is still hot on the stove. Hurry up and eat."

My cousin Xi is eleven years old now. My second aunt doesn't allow her to go out anymore and asks her to stay at home and learn how to make clothes.

Now she makes the clothes for several boys. Except for the embroidery, everything else has been recognized. If she learns some cooking skills, she can be recognized by others.

After resting at home for a few more days, the wound on his head was no longer noticeable, and Ye Qing could finally go out.

As the weather got warmer day by day, Ye Qing thought of the wild vegetables in the mountains again. He found a worn-out small backpack from the corner of the yard, put it on his back, and went to the back mountain with his second sister Ye Xiang.

Kaoshan Village is built at the foot of the mountain, and there is a big river at the head of the village. Almost all the towns in this place are built along the river. Going east along the river is the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The capital is very far away from here. It takes more than two months to get there by water, and even longer by land, requiring several months.

No one in Kaoshan Village had ever been to the capital city. They had only heard about its prosperity from passing merchants.

"What are you thinking about? You must have fallen down and become stupid!" Ye Xiang touched Ye Qing's little head and said jokingly.

"I was wondering where there are more wild vegetables." Ye Qing replied with a smile. "Sister Xiang, it just rained yesterday, let's go pick mushrooms."

"What time is it now?" Ye Xiang glanced at Ye Qing, "You should come early to pick mushrooms. They have all been picked now, so it's not our turn yet."

After walking along the forest for a while, the terrain became higher, the grass became more lush, and there were more dandelions.

The two men did not bother to talk and quickly squatted down to dig. It had just rained so the dandelions were easy to dig. It took only half an hour before the backpack was full. The two men walked back home along the same way they came.

When they got home, their mother and second aunt had already returned and were feeding the pigs.

Seeing Ye Qing, Shen smiled and asked, "Qingya, you must be tired. You and your second sister should carry less and let the brothers help you carry. Your head injury has just healed. Come and sit down and take a rest."

Ye Qing smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm not tired. I've been lying at home for several days and now I'm full of strength."

"Mom, it will taste better if you blanch the motherwort in hot water before frying it." Ye Qing said to Zhou in a sweet voice.

"Can't the motherwort be fried directly? Why do we have to blanch it? It's not a meat dish, so isn't this a waste of firewood?" Zhou said dissatisfiedly.

"If you fry the motherwort directly, it will be too bitter and not tasty. Mom, will you please try it?" Zhou finally couldn't resist her little girl's coquetry and added one more step.

"Aunt, today's dishes are really delicious, not bitter at all," said the seventh brother Ye Chenyu sweetly.

Zhou's eyes narrowed when she was praised, and she praised Ye Qing, "Qingya is really smart. You have been eating mother-in-law's shreds for so many years, but you never thought of blanching them. Let's eat them this way from now on."

Ye Qing really enjoyed being praised by his family, his eyes almost disappeared with smiles.

"Second brother, Uncle Youcai wants to make a cabinet for Xiu as a dowry, so don't go to the fields this afternoon, make the cabinet first." Old Man Ye instructed.

"Dad, I understand. I'll go to Uncle Youcai's house later to ask him what style he wants." Ye Wenfeng responded.

In fact, the Ye family is quite well off in Kaoshan Village. When Old Man Ye was young, he followed a caravan on two trips.

After earning some money, he built a house, got married, bought ten acres of land, and gradually had several children.

When the children grew up, the eldest one was good at farm work, the second one could help people make cabinets from time to time, and the third one could earn some money by going from street to street.

The old Ye family has not split up, and the money is in the hands of the old couple. They can still afford to send their children to private school for two years. After two years, they can come back to farm. As long as they can understand what is written in the deed and don't get sold, that's enough.

There is a private school in Kaoshan Village. Families with some spare money will send their children there to study for two years. They don't ask for fame or honor, but just hope that their children will not be cheated when they go out.

For this reason, the children in Kaoshan Village all have nice names, unlike in other villages where if you shout "Goudan", many people will answer.
